An Attempt to Investigate the Reduction of Ruthenium Tetroxide by Potentiometric Methods
The titration curve for osmium tetroxide is similiar to the one obtained for ruthenium tetroxide becauee there is a minimum on each curve and the potential increases with each addition of HCl. . . . Another point of ... -
An Elementary Theorem-Proving Program
My goal is to write a theorem-proving assistant that can , to s ome extent, take a hypothesis (that works on IF-THEN rules) and make some progress toward a realizable goal. However, since I need a more concrete problem ... -
An Examination of Paul J. Flory's Equation of State Using Statistical Thermodynamics
This work is a detailed examination of the development of the partition function and the corresponding equation of state due to Paul J. Flory. After the partition function and equation of state are developed, the equation ... -
